5.8 Binary bit-wise operations

Each of the three bitwise operations has a different priority level:

and_expr ::= shift_expr | and_expr "&" shift_expr

xor_expr ::= and_expr | xor_expr "^" and_expr

or_expr ::= xor_expr | or_expr "|" xor_expr

The & operator yields the bitwise AND of its arguments, which must be plain or long integers. The arguments are converted to a common type.

The ^ operator yields the bitwise XOR (exclusive OR) of its arguments, which must be plain or long integers. The arguments are converted to a common type.

The | operator yields the bitwise (inclusive) OR of its arguments, which must be plain or long integers. The arguments are converted to a common type.
